Stigma

     
Ghetto people
     According to the article, stigmas are a way of speaking to a person without using words, but only using gestures. In our society today we have people who want to be ghetto in order to either fit in or be hip/hood. Like this:
This is an image that was found over the internet under ghetto white boys and they are called the “ICY HOT STUNTAZ” and from what I have researched about them according to what they call themselves is that they were the coolest group of dudes to ever be around. Honestly this is how I feel about the situation being that they claim to be cool rappers that everyone should be around because they can rap (they got flow), so this is how I feel: “for the love of god you’re a 15 year old suburban white-boy, not some ghetto gangbanger. I hope this website is a joke because if it isn’t than you need to 1) look in the mirror and realize you’re not black 2) stop with the lame “gang signs” 3) pawn some of that jewelry and buy yourself a bike because that’s all your 15 year old ass can drive 4) realize that you’re not hardcore or intimidating in the slightest bit 5) learn how to spell 6) stop with the stupid nick names. For the record I think that you’re in the middle of some terrible identity crisis, and you should go to the ghetto and try “Pimpin” with some real gangsters and see how long you live. Sometimes the truth hurts to some people to have to see people try to be something that they are not.

Another picture of some want to be ghetto people from the movie Malibu’s Most Wanted and this is the scene in the movie where Malibu Also Known As B-Rad in the gray and yellow went to a shampoo and conditioner store and they tried to demand some free Shampoo and Conditioner products.
    
In the movie B-Rad had said: “This is our mall. always has been, always will be! There's about to be some hard core drama about to go down right neow! (Hodges: that's right. (Lady at desk: ohhh Mr. O’merclanni, our clerk gave you the wrong aroma therapy candles. here you go. (B-Rad looks at Hodges funny)(B-Rad: that's what i'm talkin about! we get ours! (Moe barks)(B-Rad: you validat perkin? (Lady: of coures sir. Then, there was another line that I thought was hilarious and that line is: “Man why do you keep callin me that? That’s you name isn't it? B-Rad:  That’s my slave name I told you like 50 times! S~ ok B-Rad! B~ wassup? S~ what are your goals in life B-Rad: To be the biggest rapper there ever was! Let me kick a freestyle for you right now SHRINK SHRINK BLINKTEY BLINK TRY TO MAKE ME THINK MAKE ME WANA GO TO MY SINK AND VOMIT THEN CLEAN IT UP WITH COMET EARTH IS MY PLONET that’s a million dollar song right there! S~ so how long have you been this shizznitt (stutters) B~ Ah every since i was a little shawty! I had these beats in my head that Icouldn’t forget!

  1. Curtis. I appreciate that you feel strongly about people who try to be what they are not, but the way you voiced your opinions is misguided. Rather than look critically at the issue, you have used the blog to list your complaints in a very unprofessional manner. People will judge you by your writing (unfortunately, this is a sad truth), so your post has only served to reinforce the stigma that you should be combating. For example, saying "you should go to the ghetto and try “Pimpin” with some real gangsters and see how long you live." does not work to change the stereotype, only reinforce it. Also, merely re-writing the script from a movie is not critically discussing a stigma. These blogs are not to serve as a Facebook type format, but as a way to express your critical thinking skills and creativity. Following directions is a vital work skill. You need to demonstrate your ability to do it here so that you can prove your ability to do it at your internship.
